Event 1: Fast & Furious

$500 + $60 Deep Stack No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

Day 1A chip leader Jordan Ludwick (Cherry Hill, NJ) has taken the overall lead after winning a big pot on the third hand of the day.

Ludwick, who began Day 2 with 625k, calls the all in bet of 20k by Carmen Labruto (Ocean City, MD) and then calls a min raise from Yossi Aizenberg (Myrtle Beach, SC).

Ludwick checks the Q 2 2 flop and Aizenberg moves all in for ~200k. After tanking for a few seconds, Ludwick makes the call and sees he's in good shape with pocket jacks against Aizenberg's pocket 10s

Ludwick's pocket jacks are best against  and they hold to scoop the pot and knockout two players.

"I can't believe I was in that spot so early," Ludwick says about the tough decision after his hand holds.  He knocks out both players and now has more than 850k.
